[pclasses-devel] HTTPClient

[Christian P. <cp...@se...>]

Hi List !

I've re-worked and added the HTTPClient class.

Changes over P1:
HTTPResponse is now a IODevice, reading response bodies is now more 
straight-forwarded. Since we have IOFilter's (you gonna love them ;-) and 
HTTPResponse being a IODevice, users are now capable of reading 
Transfer-Encoded HTTP response-bodies.

See how easy it can be:

--
using namespace P;
using namespace P::IO;
using namespace P::Net;

HTTPClient cl;
cl.open(Socket::Inet);

std::cerr << "Connecting to 192.168.1.1..." << std::endl;
cl.connect(InetAddress("192.168.1.1"), 80);

std::cerr << "Sending request ..." << std::endl;
HTTPRequest req(HTTPRequest::GET, URL("http://192.168.1.1/"));
req.setAcceptEncoding("deflate");
cl.sendRequest(req);

std::cerr << "Reading response ..." << std::endl;
HTTPResponse resp = cl.readResponse();

std::cerr << "Response: " 
 << resp.protocol() << ' ' 
 << resp.responseCode() << ' '
 << resp.response()
 << std::endl;

IOFilter* filter = 0;
if(resp.header().transferEncoding() == "deflate")
{
 filter = new ZLibIOFilter();
 resp.setFilter(filter);
}

while(!resp.eof())
{
 char tmp[1024];
 size_t count = resp.read(tmp, 1024);
 std::cerr.write(tmp, count);
}

if(filter)
{
 resp.setFilter(0);
 delete filter;
}

Thats it !
Any comments are welcome.
